PART I
GENERAL INFORMATION AND PROJECT BACKGROUND
1. INTRODUCTION
The City of Diamond Bar (“The City”) invites proposals from qualified firms to provide
a new Access Control System with required equipment, licensing and related
implementation services based upon the requirements and scope of work contained
in the Request for Proposal.
2. ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND
The City of Diamond Bar is a general law city incorporated on April 18, 1989. It is
governed by the city council/city manager form of government. A five-member city
council is elected by the residents, and a mayor is elected annually by the council to
serve a one-year term. The city manager is appointed by the council to oversee the
daily activities of the city.
3. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City of Diamond Bar ("City") currently has a Sielox Access Control system that
was installed in 2011 that controls thirty-two (32) doors spread across City Hall and
the Diamond Bar Center. The doors at City Hall and the Diamond Bar Center are
connected to AC-1700 Sielox Master Control Boards with two doors wired to each
board. All of the Master Control Boards are then networked through a Cisco switch
to a dedicated Sielox server that runs the Pinnacle Access Control Software from
Sielox. The Pinnacle platform allows for the full administration of the system
including: access schedules, device setup, card holder entry & administration,
access levels, group set up, event monitoring, alarms, access system reports and a
full log of badge swipes. The Master Control boards and Pinnacle Software have
been deemed “End of Life” by Sielox and need to be replaced. The goal of the City
is to continue use of as many of the physical locks and badge readers as is possible
while replacing the software and control boards with a modern system. In addition,
to upgrading existing equipment the City would like to add new badge readers and
compatible locks to several new locations in the City including, Heritage Park,
Sycamore Canyon Park and Pantera Park.

this Agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for
liability attributable to the active negligence of City provided such active negligence is
determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent
jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where
City active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the
obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not
attributable to the active negligence of City.
So much of the money due to Contractor under and by virtue of the contract as
shall be considered necessary by City may be retained by City until disposition has
been made of such actions or claims for damages as aforesaid.
It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended
to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California. This
indemnity provision shall survive the termination of the Agreement and is in addition to
any other rights or remedies which Indemnitees may have under the law.
This indemnity is effective without reference to the existence or applicability of
any insurance coverage which may have been required under this Agreement or any
additional insured endorsements which may extend to Indemnitees.
Contractor, on behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it, hereby
waives all rights of subrogation and contribution against the Indemnitees, while acting
within the scope of their duties, from all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or
incident to activities or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor
regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent passive negligence by the
Indemnitees.
11. NON-DISCRIMINATION: Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1735, no
discrimination shall be made in the employment of persons in the work contemplated by
this Agreement because of the race, color, sex, mental disability, physical disability,
religion or other reason set forth in Government Code § 12940 of such person.
Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places available to employees and
applications, a notice setting forth provisions of this non-discrimination clause. A
violation of this section exposes the Contractor to the penalties provided for in Labor
Code Section 1735.

13. PRESENTATION OF CLAIMS: Any claim, as that term is defined in

and Specifications.

14. TERMINATION: This Agreement may be terminated by the City for any
reason upon the giving of a written "Notice of Termination" to Contractor at least thirty
(30) days prior to the date of termination specified in the notice. Upon receipt of such
notice, Contractor shall immediately cease work, unless otherwise directed by the
Notice of Termination. In the event of such termination, Contractor shall be paid for
services satisfactorily rendered and expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred prior
to the effective date of termination, unless the Notice of Termination is issued for cause,
in which event the City may withhold any disputed compensation. Contractor shall not
be entitled to any claim for lost profits.
